Overview

Prospective study evaluates unilateral medial rectus recession correcting esotropia in pediatric patients, suggesting effectiveness with low complication rates.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral medial rectus recession for correcting 20 to 30 prism diopters of esotropia in pediatric patients.
  • Prospective study involving pediatric patients with esotropia (N=21) aged 1 to 12 years.
  • Surgical target was based on various measurement methods, with follow-up at least 3 months postoperatively.
  • Successful outcome defined as orthotropia or horizontal tropia of 10∆ or less at both distance and near.
  • Achieved a successful outcome in 85.7% of patients.
  • Only 14.3% failure rate attributed to undercorrections, with no correlation to surgical target angle or amount of recession (p > .05).
  • Persistent lateral incomitance in 10.5% of cases, also not correlated with surgical target angle or recession amount (p > .05).
